Grammar took shape as a text-based discipline, taking as its object the literary language of the past. The focus was on mastering the morphological structures of classical Greek, of which the forms had to be memorized, and activated through the analysis of literary texts. The teaching of grammar involved the flexible use of manuals, offering the indispensable terminological apparatus and the descriptive categories. The parts-of-speech system remained the corner piece of Western grammar. The condensation of grammatical doctrine in manuals was supplemented with grammatical exercising, focusing on verbal and nominal morphology, and, sporadically, issues of syntax. Grammatical education was extended, through copying, memorizing and analysing of model texts, with lexical and phraseological materials.","PeriodicalId":182283,"journal":{"name":"The History of Grammar in Foreign Language Teaching","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129051735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By drawing on the ‘natural acquisition mode’ of a language (Laudenbach 1899: 4), they argued that different periods (or phases) could be distinguished in the direct and intuitive acquisition approach of a LFL (Bréal, Rochelle Collard, Sweet, Schweitzer …). They thus proposed to re-categorise grammatical contents, as well as placing them in a new order and presenting them in relation to the vocabulary to topic to be learnt. The methodologists also created the concept of ‘intuitive grammar’ and some of them recommended the use of an ‘inductive approach’ in teaching grammar.","PeriodicalId":182283,"journal":{"name":"The History of Grammar in Foreign Language Teaching","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129503875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His grammar, as the first Latin grammar written in English, reflects the emphases on both grammar and bilingual education from his own training. He adapted his grammar in several ways to help beginners learn to read Latin and prepare for advanced language study, such as using English instead of Latin as the medium of instruction, including full paradigms, organizing the discussion around declensions and conjugations, using familiar specimen terms, providing simple explanations, etymologizing the grammatical terminology, and using story-like examples. These features must have been appreciated, since Ælfric’s grammar became one of the most popular elementary grammars in eleventh-century England.","PeriodicalId":182283,"journal":{"name":"The History of Grammar in Foreign Language Teaching","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133081742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter deals with medieval language teaching in Western Christendom, focusing on the core of grammatical treatises, consisting of a systematic description of the parts of speech and their syntax. From the Carolingian reform on, grammar instruction continued to be influenced by logic, and the role of literature diminished. Grammar teaching became increasingly analytical, and Donatus’s standard textbook could no longer meet the requirements of language pedagogy in the High and Later Middle Ages. Its study began to be accompanied by other short treatises, which represented new doctrines, e.g. syntactical theory, and new forms of teaching, such as parsing grammars and grammars in verse.","PeriodicalId":182283,"journal":{"name":"The History of Grammar in Foreign Language Teaching","volume":"45 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128669263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
